Destiny |OT5| New patch out Tues., Master Rahool reportedly crying into his robes

From the promises of the latest bungie update those of note for me:

-Scout rifles will be getting a buff.

-certain exotics that are infamous for sucking (bad juju and thorn) will be getting fixed at one point. So I might as well level up mine I guess and hope that whatever they fix makes it worth it.

-autorifle getting debuffed largely on stability and/or damage. Mainly since they weren't meant for long range just short/medium.

-shotgun with long range adjustments will be getting debuffed to not work medium/long range as well as they are. So stuff like the comedian might get fucked over.

-voice chat opt in for matchmaking and tower. Needed to happen.

-strikes will get reworked. Right now enemies are doing more damage and you're doing way less damage to bosses than they intended (aka bullet sponge fix). This'll be great and hopefully they do it right.

Alongside their comments of giving higher loot for hard missions these all sound like great fixes. The issue is that there's no ETA. This could take ages. So until then once I beat the raid with friends I might put the game down. If they fix scout rifles I might keep my current one in favor of auto. Will also keep thorn.

But again without knowing when these updates will hit I am wary of promises. They've heavily focused on taking out farming spots and other tricks instead of fixing the issues. Their stance of stick over carrot isn't helping me feel confident about playing this for years to come. I'll keep playing but Bungie get your shit together and quickly.

Well the hard wipe thing they were talking about reduces loot? I can't even tell you how many times we hardwiped. Unless I read that wrong?

That's pretty lame. I assume by hard-wipe they mean death. It's a shame that we are punished for dying. This is really just a lazy way to attempt to patch any future farming runs that are discovered. If the goal is just to get people to replay entire missions - good luck! People will now play missions on the easiest difficulty so they don't die and destroy their chances at loot. The crucible is now the best place to farm items. Tie those rubber bands around your analog sticks and take a nice long nap! Maybe next they'll reduce engram drop rates for people who play too many crucible matches a day.

That was me yesterday. I had been waiting for it for a while and already had 10 Rare Fusion rifles stored and ready to go.

It does not disapoint.

I should have done this too. Now that Treasure Cave has been nerfed, how the hell am I going to find 10 blue Fusion Rifles anytime soon?
 
Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items

Edit: wow fuck you bungie

You missed all the drama dude

Treasure cave is dead, ass shards from queens legendaries are no more

whoa wait, what happened to the shards from legendaries?

edit: I see. hmm. need to alter my guide a little bit. Now they're true goodwill legendaries...

do you get anything for dismantling them at all?
 
Promising update from Bungie. With all its flaws I still can't stop playing this game. 49 hours in and I am having a great time. That has been without exploriing the raid or playing anything in a (non-matchmade) fireteam. I've ordered a headset for the PS4 and from what I can gather the game is going to jump to a new level of fun wihile playing with a crew. Roll on changes, I'm in Bungie.

Some activities aren't meant for some levels. Lower levels should be running the base matchmade strikes. As a level 28, you should not be running the level 18 strike playlist.

The queens wrath is an event that seems tailored to people who need to get legendary gear. My friend got her first legenday from it and is grateful.

Its just not its not used for easy ass shard farming lol. Game has barely been out and people are already close to max level. Calm down. Run the nightfall. Run the raid. You are at the endgame buddy.



They're fixing stuff buddy.

I ran the raid twice and got no raid gear. BUT A WHOLE LOT OF FUCKING GLITCHES!@!!

They said they're hoping to roll out all these changes by the end of the year.

People are arguing against the nerf because, as of today and likely the near future, there is no alternative. Doing strikes gives you nothing. Story missions, nothing. That's the issue. If these were fixed, no one would care, and if they were fixed initially, no one would even be doing the cave in the first place.

I'll respect your opinion but I'm still gonna disagree. They shouldn't leave an afk exploit in the game just because the loot system isn't changed yet....

And even still, the best way to get loot is doing the nightfall, weekly heroic for strange coins, marks, and raid. Those are still available and always have been. The cave isn't necessary at all to get loot.
 
One of my Halo clan friends is selling the game after I gave him this news. He was in the 21-26 grind zone. One less for the raid now. Ayyyy lmao
 
They really should've thrown some sugar in with the cave nerf instead of a bunch of "trust us! We'll make it better. At some indeterminate point in the future."

sure, but i imagine that figuring out the best way to balance out the increased drops from your proposed changes is more involved than just upping the respawn timer to a bunch of mobs. just because this was patched first doesnt mean that they arent working on solutions to the other problems, its just far easier to change this now. they already said in the dev post that they were looking at how to change the drop rates of engrams and the decrypted rewards as well. so them patching out the loot cave doesnt mean people cant grind out gear any more...that grind is just slightly more involved, but still the same thing

bungie is looking at the leaky faucet and not the busted pipes here

if 'playing how we should play' would get people the rewards that made sense, then you'd see a loaded strike playlist instead of people shooting into a cave for hours

but get rid of the cave like its what's destroying the game and gimping progression - lets not focus on the strike playlist that's not even as useful for building rep as patrols
 
Broke down and bought the digital guardian edition yesterday. So far I'm enjoying things. I wish there were more hours in a day so I could actually put some time into this game. Being an adult is so cruel.
 
I'm baffled by the change to the Queen's items. This event is now *mostly* only useful for people who are between level 22-25, or who *really* want to look more purple. Anyone below 22 can't do the Queen's mission, and everyone above 25 already has enough Legendary armor for it not to matter. For everyone else this event gives no rewards until you've reached Rep level 2.

I guess there is an ETA. Let me rephrase that. From here till "the end of the year" plenty of big games I'm interested in come out. It they don't start rolling out soonish then that'll lose them plenty of exasperated users.
 
Expect changes soon which decrease the efficiency of cave farming and correspondingly increase engram drops from completing activities.

I hope so because right now running anything isn't worth it. Shit should pop out of majors/ultras and bosses.

is it really that hard?
 
Hey Bungie,

How about adding in opt-in voice chat at the tower...you know, supposedly the hub of Guardian activity?

How about actually increasing the rewards for daily's/strikes? I don't give a shit if you have fireworks going off on the mission complete screen if the loot I'm getting is shit.

Also, I just want to add that the problem with the Cryptarch was not communication. The problem with the Cryptarch is that legendaries only have a 30% chance to actually make a legendary.

Thanks,

I'm about to play some 3v3 on XB1 if anyone wants to party up. GT = kittens dx.
 
Taking out the loot cave and sharding queens gear for shards and not replacing them at the same time with changes will hurt player moral. This is going to hurt the game a lot. I'm already at my breaking point with the inability to get a decent AR about a 20 blue.

Also some of these changes that they want planned out, If AR's are overpowered, raise scout rifles and pulse rifles not kneecap AR's.

You either grind out rep as they want you to or hope to RNGesus that you get a good weapon drop for a kind of weapon you want.
 
Bungie pretty much fucked up their first attempt at showing they are going to support and make the game better.

Seems like they are making it better for low level characters and worse for high level characters.

What blows my mind is that THE QUEENS WRATH STUFF IS USELESS!!!!

Like, what the fuck, a useless element added, with nothing coming soon for PvE focused people like me.

Ughhhhhhhh

you could always do it just in case in the future you need some rep for a special mission, of course it could never happen as well lol

I was worried i was never going to finish SoM because of Destiny but it looks like ill have plenty of time for the incoming games

so close of maxing out my boots then i was going to max out my gloves...
